B.U.I. built under influence (Davo's GSXR11)

Fuck me, i'm excited,.Got the swinger all bolted up tonight and raised the rear about 3 inches using the standard RGV linkages but still got the same wheel base.pay no attention to the seat unit as its yet to undergo major choppin.Then its off to the paint shop for some extra bling and off to the powdercoaters for some extra black.Another 763 beers and a fresh engine then i rekon she'll be ready for showtime.:D:D:D;)[:X]

I think you need another beer there as well mate. Ah, the old Fools Run is great for inspiration ain't it! Rock on!

[Tone]

Wonder if Spondon and Suzuki are sueing each other over the RGV/Banana arm thing?Nice esky Davo.
Cheersh

[03gixxerpilot]

nice !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


how easy is it to get the banana aem into the gixxer chassis

[crazymofo]

great stuff davo!!!

if you want some longer linkages.. to lower the bike back down, remember im only a email away ;)

cheers.joe.

thanks Joe,you'll be hearin from me soon coz i cant touch the ground.

Tone thats actually 1 small esky inside a big 1,no its pattented.

Clive,its not as easy as i thought,but i have beer and a lazer level to help.I'll do a how too soon;)

[suxukifreak]

06 blade!! how come its bent!!! ;)

im full of dumb answers

[Gix11]

RGV. He's had all those beers on the floor, so smart answers will be everywhere. By the way, what's those groovy looking pair of white sunnies on the floor to the left of the bike mate? Slimline, yes, but not sure they'll catch on, a bit wide.

i cant reveal all my secrets Gix,unlees you want a pair[:p]

[damo1]

thats real nice davo its going to be a real nice ride mate well done

[Iceman]

I never thought I'd admit to having similar taste to Davo, but the banana arm and R1 look unreal, I'd been toying with the idea myself.

Keep up the good work mate.

[geffro]

Look Davo may be a twee little chap[8D], but even still, there's no woman who could handle two of me, either pre or post natal.[8D]

One of me is always more than enough for any woman (to have to tolerate that is), wish I could say the same about Davo though.[^]

[geffro]

believe it boys there is another more well practised obnoxiuos bastard amongst you now!pitty the poor prick nolonger was two wheels

New linkages arrived today. Thanks very much to the (ASF member)Engineer who made them for me.So many to choose from:D. Bottle of smooth blend licker headin your way mate.
Cheers

[fimpBIKES]

ooh, they have little "S"'s in em!!!

so cute

[Gix11]

Shit! Nice work Joe. You're on your way big time now Davo.

[gibbo]

Lookin good Davo, gunna put up some pics of the installation?

sure mate.its not to hard but ive been documenting it for a "how to".paint went on tonight so should be done by Sunday

[gibbo]

cheers mate, looking forward to it.

[fimpBIKES]

also keen to check out how the arrangement works

should look SWEET!!!

[Gsxar]

Looking good Davo, keep polishing:D
Links look XLENT

[Rich]

Davo, I ain't one to rain on a party but coming from an aviation trade background I know a bit about stresses and stress points in metal fabrication. The links with the 'S' in them I'd personally give a miss. Realistically you'd need to radius out those fine inner points in the 'S' to eliminate or at least reduce the 'stress raisers'.

Hard to explain in words, a picture would be better if you don't understand.

The bottom line is its probable the 'S' links will fail. If so what would be the consequences ??

Cheers Rich

[EXBEN]

Davo, I agree with Rich, it looks a bit risky to me. The "dogbones" are one of the most stressed parts of the suspension, just ask Mundy. One option may be to double up the linkages with one of the straight ones behind each of the S's, is this what you were planing?

moove the whole thing foward so it takes up the gap to the seat tiger;)& mate can you ssms me ya addres so i can send up those Yoshi cams & pistons[^]

[crazymofo]

yeah i cut them ones with the "s" logo, purely as a show ones. hence why there is other dogbones in the box!

still.. i reckon they can be modified to suit the application a backing brace welded to the bones could be a start, or as others have said, doubling up the link would be an alternative.

one obsevation tho, is that on my gsxf, the dog bones are of 3mm mild steel (factory ones) these items davo has are 6mm items.

the structural strength mainly comes from the swingarm its self. the dog bone simply activates and dictates the shock movement, the main reason for the linkage suspension is that there is less shock shaft travel required per given wheel movent, thus making doe a shorter lighter shock asorber, compared to a cantilever style suspension.

they arent really subject to the side to side loadings as the swing arm is.

still, it wouldnt hurt bracing them up a little. send em back down davo, and i can do that for ya if you like.

cheers.joe.



ps..davo, your very welcome. anything else you'd like done?

[Iceman]

Look'n good Davo, nice work Joe.

Can't wait to see pics of it altogether.

settle down punters,i wont be using the S bones. they were simply made for demonstration purposes.I know all about strength in dogbones ,thanks anyway Rich n Ben,they will only be used for show days such as Goldcoast bike week(if at all).Thanks again Joe,you are the man.hope ya dont mind mate but i will be passing a spare set on to another ASF member down south(who wishes to remain annonymous at this stage,but the bike will be a fukin worthy stunner when finished).

ps Joe,i've just scored a stainless go-kart frame that is my next project.Lookin at puttin some serious HP engine in it,but i'll need a few things lasered up.Gunna be 1 sic toy and i'll need someone crazy to help me run it in.Rekon its got your name engraved on the side.

pss,Mad1. i'm onto the movin forward thing,fuck knows ive only been lookin at it for 2 weeks solid 2 work out wots gunna happen.Very keen on that tail light as i got an 04 R1 unit that just isnt playin the game and my paint guru is waiting to do his thing.Send it up by mail rather than Rexxie post and i'll fix ya up mate.you have sms.

psss. Iceman,the 04 R1 LED tail light i got may just look the dux on your new arse.I'll let ya know if and when its avaliable.

Cheers xo

[Iceman]

Cheers Davo, I've been wonder'n what to use. Best you put up a pic if ya gunna let it go.

[crazymofo]

davo!! FUCK YEAH!! let me at the kart!!! bwahaha :D

and thats cool about the dogbones.. they are yours to do as you wish mate :)

cheers.joe.

this is her mate,sorry about the dim foto but she dont like the flash,not for sale just yet but it will be yours for a small fee if ya want it,and my new 1 looks the part.

F-U-K-I-N TRICK !

[Iceman]

Looks pretty sweet Davo!

[hooligan]

Liking the black and polished swinger!

[Gix11]

Looks like you mean business this time mate. There's no kipper forks on that Bad Boy. I see you've even started hacking the subframe mate. No bottom support now. What's the plans? Oh, and that black centre idea is tops mate. I like that a lot.

[crazymofo]

FARK!!!

MY EYES!!!

nice work davo, looking the biz now, like the others have said.. the black/polished swinger is a sweet looking set up

cheers.joe.

[TurboKat]

Really startin' to look like a proper 'fighter now mate, keep up the good work. :)
What are you planning for a 'zorst? Something that tucks up under the banana bend in the 'arm would look GP-ish. [:p]

[huddo]

davo what have you done!
you have been bizzy and i see you love to polish.

[gibbo]

See you've got yourself one of those thinkin chairs ala Ozkat, equipped with sunnies and sun hat to protect yourself from the dazzle off all that shiney stuff mate. [8D] Well done, can't wait to see the finished product[:p]

[Gix11]

Bloody hell - Huddo! And not using my computer! Amazing mate. How's Davo's work mate? You best get that Bandit sorted hey?

[ozkat]

Huddo?? Who is Huddo???

[luke4130]

Davo, the bikes lookin trick as all f$%k!. Good to see some real progress. Luke

must be about time we saw some progress shots of your beast Luke???

[TurboKat]

Try this one Ice, It'll suit your tail unit.

[luke4130]

Yeah, no worries. Its getting there but i have to ease up one buying parts for a bit. (I finsh my apprenticeship in a coupla weeks so I've gotta sort out what i'm doing with that). Now comes the fun a games of being a Sole Trader.

theres a fucking understatment!!!! [8D]

[Iceman]

Sorry Davo, my untrained eye picked it as wood.

[suxukifreak]

Fuck Davo, that would turn my head!! Looking good [:p]

[BOHEMION]

Mate is is looking the goods mate - Fuggin unreal colour! good shit!

[Large]

You and Mundy will look like teammates now :)

[luke4130]

Hey, whats with the whacking stick stuffed in the tail unit?! someone have a road rage prob?... i'm also a sufferer [xx(] btw, the bikes really getting a move along. good stuff.

[Tone]

Very nice Davo,great colour.Love the shorty pipe,waddabout the neighbours though?

[RR-711]

Lookin real good Davo thet swing arm is the ducks guts. What ya doin to the wheels n can ya fit a 5 n half inch wheel in that swing arm.

[clairebear]

cor Davo, talk about progress! ver' noice.
is that a blown fork seal i see before me?

yes miss Bear,i have new 1's sitting here in front of me but it actually handles better with oil in 1 leg only.
Rossco... that is a 5.5 wheel in there,has about 5mm clearance either side with a sports tyre on.dont think a low profile super sport will fit tho. I had to pump the arm out 10mm to use the standard gsxr wheel and caliper.I believe the RGV runs a 5.5 rim but uses a different caliper.
as for the wheel colour,im thinking pearl black with the pearl blue clear coat.Im over [polishing and dont want too much bling but im open to suggestions on colours coz i wanna get it right 1st time.
Any idea's people?????

[Gix11]

I'd avoid going anything similar to the body panels mate. It will all look abit plastic hyundai. I reckon just black would look shit hot as it will pull out the black in the bars and swingarm and lower the whole thing. Alternatively,k why not do something wacked like keep the outer rims that gold colour and do the centre rim and spokes black? I kinda like that gold with the new blue and apinting the centres black will make the rims look wider. Just an idea.

[pt]

i reckon without an exhaust pipe it'll turn heads... and blow eardrums[^][:o)]

looks absolutely wicked and i'm with gix11 go satin black (matt is too bloody hard to keep clean) on the wheels.

[Gix11]

I rode around with the pipe like that for a whole day. Supercharger had to drop back and my ears were getting a pounding. It was the same day we chopped the can that was to go on and we based the sound on what we had heard that day. A year and a bit down the road and I realise that must have been fuckin' loud as my can is hardly the quietest I've ever heard.

:(F^$%^k you Davo! NO more special parts for you tiger[}:)]

hahaha. gota keep you on ya toes some how mate.i didnt choose the paint colour,it was chosen by the bloke painting it.so far this latest build has cost me $242 in total(all parts and paint).gota be happy with that. box didnt arrive today mate but i didnt get time to go to the post office either.
wheels and rear sets are under primer...stay tuned.

[dRRew]

lookin unreal davo. super hot mate. is the ballsack dent in the tank standard?

[RR-711]

Sorry Davo my mistake thought the K came with a 4.5 or a 5 inch rear n was just goin by the coluor thinkin it was the standard one. My 1990 L swing arm only has 3 or 4 mil either side with a 180 pilot sport. Close to chain n brake bar but does`nt touch it. I reckon gloss black centres n polished outers, i know every one does it but thats coz it looks fuckin horn n will match the swing arm spot on

the "everyone does it" factor is what im tryin to avoid.Otherwise the streetfighter will become a production bike eventually.Gunna start with a base coat of black and go from there.
drew that dent was there when i bought it from a wrecker a few years back,not sure if its standard coz my old tank was worse.but the new r6 seat covers it

[dRRew]

seat looks a treat mate. will cover it and look the goods. poor bloke didnt leave much of a sack dent did he... prolly why he doesnt have his gix anymore!

i think its standard mate,if not he had very uniform balls. still waiting to cut down your can?

[pesh]

Looks a treat DAVO .;).it's coming along nicely... thats gunna turn heads everywhere .[:0].. i reckon go black with the rims ....

thanks Mark.Black is the chosen colour,went next door to have a look at em this arvo and im impressed.but was even more impressed at the Shelby GT Cobra sitting next to them.see if i can get a foto of it tommorow.

Short,fast,Loud


http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/37298805264243.JPG


Thanks to Uncle Mundy for my latest box of goodies.gunna make her a high pipe so she doesn't cover the swinger.

[pesh]

fukk yeah its gunna be an animal ... settn off car alarms every where....

Oooooh pwetty blue [}:)]

Looks like me old blue 9 had more impact on you than you've admitted Davo



But thank god I'm getting rid of that poxy blue color.:D

[clairebear]

late post on the wheels, but what about white spokes & middle rim, and polished outer rim?
a bugger to keep clean, but difrunt
i'm cerial, but ya can tell me to fuck off if you like :-)

sorry Claire ,too late
Wheels are the same colour as the top of the tank and seat unit

[BOHEMION]

Trick, Tricky and Trickier mate fuggin Tops!

[Iceman]

Looks good Davo, I was right in say'n it wouldn't fit in my tail unit, as mine doesn't have the flat piece at the bottom like yours does. My tail unit is open at the bottom.

took me hours to get the template right for that light Ice.Ive fitted it flush with the undertray and my numberplate will be covering it slightly.gota make a lexan cover for it as it will be coppin a few rocks.Mundy sent me another light which would have fit the top easier but the R1 light was just to good not to fit.My tail is off 00 R1 raceglass so thats why it has the flat undertray.

[Iceman]

The tail I got is 98-99,also a race unit. I am attempting to put 01 tail light in. Worse comes to worse one of my mate's dad is a fibreglasser by trade so I can have it tweeked abit.

[cammy9r]

Hows ya gettin on with your build davo. You get your light and tail unit fitted. You asked what that thing was on my front hugger, it is a road tax disc the 2nd biggest 'grudge paying' for road user after fuel.

[willow]

Yeah gotta agree there Cammy. Down here we pay road tax to ride around on potholes.

This is the first time i've had a good look at your build, Davo. Some great shots of it so far. Anything new happening?

nuthin new in the last 2 weeks gents,kids are keepin me busy at the moment.Down to the finer detail side of things now.lots of puting things on,lookin at em,then takin em back off.Gotta take it to the welders then pipe shop the bike shop before i get to fire it u[p again. thinkin i'll just go see jim at www.handmaderacers.com.au and get it all done at 1 shop.save me alot of travellin and time fukin around with 3 shops.I'll keep ya's posted when summin new happens.
